Ingredients
Fruit
- 6 ounces blueberries
- 6 ounces blackberries
- 6 ounces raspberries
- 16 ounces strawberries, hulled and diced
Dressing
- Zest and juice of 1 lime
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh mint
Instructions
- Prepare the berries: Wash and dry the blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and hulled, diced strawberries carefully, then place them into a large serving bowl.
- Add aromatics: Mix in the lime zest and juice along with the finely chopped mint, spreading their fresh flavors evenly over the berries.
- Make the dressing: In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the honey or maple syrup for 5-10 seconds until it becomes runny, then pour it evenly over the berries and aromatics.
- Toss and adjust: Gently toss all ingredients together until the berries are well coated in the lime-mint-honey dressing. Taste and add more lime juice or honey if a stronger flavor is desired.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe berries for the best flavor and texture.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup to keep the recipe vegan.
- This salad is best served immediately but can be chilled up to 2 hours before serving.
- Adding a sprinkle of chopped nuts or a dollop of yogurt can add texture and creaminess.
- For a tangy twist, add a splash of orange juice along with the lime.
